Home Security Month 2018: Make sure your property and tenants are safe

The month of October is National Home Security month, and to coincide with the national campaign, the RLA is mobilizing members to make sure that their rental properties-and tenants-are safe.

According to the ONS, domestic burglary incidents were up on last year by 32% to more than 250,000.

The National Home Security Month campaign has been running nationwide for six years, and this year each week the campaign will shine the line on separate issues, such as alarm systems, making sure your property has sufficient lighting at night and door locks.

And with the clocks soon to go back and the evenings getting darker earlier, keep an eye out for more content from the RLA around Home Security Month. Don’t forget that if you’re a member of ours, you’re entitled to a FREE TradePoint discount card-which you could use to improve the security of your property, for example installing outdoor lighting-at a discounted rate.
